Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a form of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. There are two main types of lymphoma: Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. There are about 20 different types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The only way to tell the difference between Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, is by looking at the cells under a microscope.

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Symptoms

Although there are a variety of symptoms associated with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, the most common symptom of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin area. Remember, in most cases this swelling is due to an infection and not non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, only a doctor can make that diagnosis.

Other symptoms of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma include:

  • Fevers
  • Night sweats
  • Significant weight loss
  • Extreme fatigue
  • Loss of appetite
  • Itchy skin
